Pros

They respond very fast with the results of your test. They give you links to free programs. Other than that there is nothing good about this company that I can think of. Worse experience for a AT HOME JOB. CRAZY!!!!

Cons

If you don't pass you don't know your score. The pre-exam area is the same as the test. Look and all. The pay. Not paid for studying or maybe they call it self training. Not worth the time for what you don't get. 1099 and if have to give them statements if ask of payment on your taxes. Crazy!!! I will not be applying to this company ever again. BEWARE TEST TIME IS SUPER LONG. 33 questions with 5 answers per question. Crazy. So that's 165 questions you will have to answer. The test was worse than a college exam. CRAZY😡 I don't understand why you have to study 146 pages and then take a three part test if you already have qualifications for the position. If you don't pass part 1 you don't move on to part two or three. For what they are paying for the position you shouldn't have to do all what they want you to do especially if they are going to train you. You don't get paid to review or study the material. You don't know what your score is after you take the test. It is a pass fail. The questions on the test will confuse you. I think for this to be a work at home job they take you through more than a 9-5 job.

Pros

Innovative company looking to constantly grow their people and capabilities. Strong support of employees and great team environment.

Cons

Could improve internal communications and various teams are very siloed and detached from one another.

Pros

They only hire fresh college graduates for ondemand (even the mangers are fresh out of college) so your coworkers will be your age and usually fun to work with

Cons

They treat their employees really badly. Set far higher quotas than any other company else that people rarely hit and then fire the rest. They also pay you terribly with a commission structure where if you don't hit at least 90% of your quota you get zero commission. You'll see people constantly being fired and quitting. The average length of people being there is probably less than 6 months. Management go out of their way to CC the entire department on any negative email he sends you. He has sent nasty emails like this even on Christmas morning. Stay away.
